A CIA agent wants to use Kandi’s psychic talents to steal twelve endangered white tigers. The mission’s crucial to prevent a terrorist attack. Wait! Terrorists? What had she gotten herself into?
Lions and tigers and skunks, oh my! Kandi Cain’s a psychic pet detective. Her cases range from wrangling baby goats, to finding lost critters. Her current case is rescuing a lion from a Nigerian warlord. Kandi knew dressing up as a demonic clown and walking a lion down a city street would freak people out. But, wow! She didn’t expect Armageddon.
The hot as hell Detective Dutch Callaghan’s on her trail again and showing more than a professional interest. Kandi’s talents have attracted the attention of a CIA black ops agent who wants her to steal twelve endangered white tigers from a Pakistani warlord. The mission’s crucial to prevent a terrorist attack.
Wait! What? Terrorists? What had she gotten herself into? Kandi wasn’t a superhero. She couldn’t bend steel with her bare hands, and she wasn’t faster than a speeding bullet. She’s Doctor Doolittle. She talks to the animals and occasionally the dead.
Excerpt
They call me Doctor Doolittle. I was two years old when my parents realized I could talk to the animals. How did they discover my unusual talent? They found me in the backyard surrounded by birds, skunks, coyotes, jackrabbits, dogs, cats and a big-ass mountain lion. I was giggling happily and petting them. My poor dad almost had a stroke.
To say I have a unique family would be an understatement. My mom’s obsession with Christmas landed me with the swell name of Kandi Cain. Our home is a shrine to Santa and his elves. Don’t even get me started on mom’s need to dress as an elf every friggin’ day. It doesn’t matter if it’s August, she’s wearing a red tunic with red, green and white stripped leggings and curly toed shoes. Mom’s big into peace on Earth and goodwill to all. My dad not so much.
My father, Nick Cain, is a very large Santa look-a-like. He was a mob enforcer for the Gambino family until he met my mother at a Christmas party. It was love at first sight. To keep her safe, my Dad quit his job and they quietly moved from New York to Apache Junction, Arizona. Apache Junction is a small tourist town located at the base of the Superstition Mountains. The town caters to people interested in visiting the numerous ghost towns and hunting for the Lost Dutchman’s gold mine.
When Dad isn’t playing Santa, he’s a member of the Superstition Mountains Search and Rescue squad and a highly sought-after rattlesnake wrangler.
I inherited my psychic abilities from Grandma Hester; along with her pet detective agency and her dazzling pink gingerbread house. To make things even more interesting, I just acquired the power to communicate with the spirit world. Maybe I can finally find out how my grandmother really died.
Dutch Callaghan, my sexy-as-hell, pain-in-the-butt neighbor, is a Phoenix PD homicide cop. Our relationship started off on the wrong foot. I was hired to rescue a Yorkie from a brutal dog fighting ring and Dutch was investigating several murders. At the time, I didn’t know our cases were connected and went in disguised as an elderly nun. Let’s just say the Ninja Nun blew the hell out of Dutch’s undercover operation, but hey, I rescued all those poor critters. Dutch still holds a grudge, even after I used my special talents to help him apprehend the murder suspects.
Dutch decided he wanted a relationship with me. I would love to have hot monkey sex with him, but that’s not gonna happen. I knew the minute Dutch discovered my father’s former occupation he’d slap the handcuffs on. Bad things happen when my father gets angry.
Staying a step ahead of a determined cop is not that easy. Especially, when said cop considers me his personal psychic and animal whisperer.
